A True Emperer? or just a Prince and child?

[Guest]

It was a new day upon the great land of Xing. It was a dark time however, for the subjects of Emperer Sonai. Would it not be fate that brought Sonai to the throne before his time? or rather was it the cruel tormenting of time and the very humor of a god or omnipotent being that wanted to see just how much Sonai could take? Well, what ever it was that did it, would have hell to pay if Sonai found out. His emotions ran through his blood like wildfire through a forest. His eyes even seemed to turn a cold black at times.

His subjects feared for their new emperor like parents of a foster child that just lost his biological parents in a car crash. It was a sad site to see, but it was one none the less. Day by day and night by night, the poor man, no, child, Sonai would wander the halls of his deceased Father's Castle. Day in and day out he would pace the halls and seemingly drift off into another realm. He neglected his duties time after time and even his wife became worried for him.

Soon he snapped out of it, only to find that his kingdom was in peril. It was not rocks, nor stones, nor guns, nor cannons. It was the peril only brought by a distraught Emperor and the feelings seeping to the subjects. He stood atop the highest balcony on that mansion and proclaimed that he was the new leader of the land of Xing, however, he made one promise, and one proclamation that day.

"I vow," He said, "That I will no longer live in the shadows of my father. No longer will I hide behind my guilt and my sadness...NO LONGER!!! will I let my feelings get in the way of this nation's good intentions. And NO LONGER!!!! will I let my own self wants lead this country to a doomed state. I will lead this fine country to peace with all Nations. I will sow, the seeds of harmony in every land, in every field, and in every mind. I will show the rest of the world, what it's like to be XINGEESE!!!!! But I dare say this, I will not accept the title of Emperor, for that was my Father. My Father was a great man, and I am not worthy of his tittle. And when the day comes, that I am of age, AND have proved myself, I will claim the rightful spot that is mine, on the wall of blessed emperors of Xing, until them I am still only a Prince. And I humble thyself before my people."

With that said, he returned into his castle, his home of the old, his home of the new, and his home of his family. He sat upon his new throne with no intent of letting any of his emotions get the better of him. A man ran to him, and kneeled before his presence. He spoke frantically as he tried to catch his breath while he spoke.

"M..m..my..l..l..lord...R...R...Reila Tsukino of Fort Briggs to the North of Amestris has...has...has allied with east and want to keep the peace that Amestris has long forgotten. It..it...it appears her goals are genuine...w...w...what should we do...m...m...my lord."

with no time to lose Sonai grabbed a piece of paper and started to write on it. His pen moving almost a tad slower than his mouth as he wrote with as much speed as he could muster with out making the letter illegible. His hand finally stopped just after a dot and handed it to a person standing to his left. With a soft grin he spoke with a soft voice.

"Please put this in a royal envelope and top it off with a royal seal."

with that the man did what he asked and returned the letter to him. Sonai gave it to the frantic man and spoke clear instructions to him.

"Give this to Miss Tsukino ONLY, and make sure that you get a response, a simple yes or no will suffice, and take two people with you to hold supplies, it's a long journey."

With that the man grabbed two people and ran out the door. Sonai sat there, with a soft grin and crossed his right leg over his left. With a light smile he turned to his wife and kissed her on the cheek. After, he started off at the world in front of his chair, with a large window overlooking his kingdom. Oh what a site it was indeed. He thought a moment, but subsided his thought as he realized he had, indeed, wrote the letter in Amestrian and not Xingeese.

With a swift movement a man shot forth from the door. His body ragged and his eyes filled with a worry of sorts. The other two men finally appeared in the same crappy shape as the first. He crawled, almost on his hands and knees to Prince Shuskei. He looked down at the man as he held up a letter.

Prince Shuskei took the letter, opened it, and read it. After reading it he promptly set it down and motioned a man to bring him the royal paper. After a few minuets of writing Sonai stopped and stared at his note. Could he accomplish what he set out to do? Perhaps, was he going to try? Yes.

"Prepare this letter and send it back to the commander at Fort Briggs. Then head back home, and you may rest a while."

With that he stood up and kissed his wife on the cheek. With out a moment to loose he shot forth, walking down the long hall towards the study his father had. It was were he learned about his Alchemy, it's where he would find the way to create the path. It's where he would bridge both Amestris and Xing in a time of Peace. How would he tell his people to go to war for peace, it was absurd. An oxymoron at best. But he knew all to well the tricks in politics to make it work. Grabbing a quill and a peace of parchment he wrote a long memo to the elite Brigade. With that, he signed it, and sent it on it's way.

"May the Police action, start."

With that, Sonai started down towards the National Armory. His steps were quite heavy and fast. Though it wasn't long considering it was across the street. With a soft push the doors swung open and closed behind him as he entered the main court yard. He looked around at all the people staring at him, confused and looking absurd.

He kneeled down and placed his right hand on the ground firmly. Then, with in seconds a flash of red lightning and smoke appeared where he was. All gazed at the spectacle. Finally the smoke cleared and he stood there, in a giant pit big enough to hold at least one tank. With a tap, he opened up two more of these holes on either side of the first.

With a mighty shove he opened a third. Then he spoke softly. as he started to smash the hole making a ramp. It was complete when he finally spoke, his starting was clearing his throat as well as grunting from the initial forced used to make this.

"You men, are now on duty with a job. Dig this tunnel to East HQ in Amestris, about ten miles from the city. Go, now, we are in a time of peace seeking, and it seems police action has to be taken."

With that, they started the digging. It would take a while, but on occasion he would blast a good ten miles in a day due to his alchemy. Deconstructing a large square hole. It was indeed, something to be remembered. He also ordered that several tunnels branched off, leading to and fro. One to his personal Guard, one to Just outside Amestris, one to just outside of central, and one to just secure a supply line for misc. items. Indeed they would be covered so, in order to ward off suspition and they would be securely hidden and closed so that only Sonai or a select few could open them. It was indeed a time of war, but with the claim of Police action, it was more like a time of trials for the Xing empire. He had also ordered a few tunnels be constructed for the sole purpose of making trains and other things. All of this would be done with in a week. Why? Because of his wonderful book his dad gave him.

The tearing apart of sediment and things, the being able to deconstruct the very ground they walked on. A simple week it would be, and all because of the vast ability to tear things apart and create small things, that hold the whole thing together. A train was constructed for troops. Another train for food, water, and medical supplies. Yet another train for tanks and even Aerocraft able to fit. Copters and cars, people and arms, it was all coming fast and easy. What an amazing show of team work and strategy. Indeed it was of Xing creation, because of his commanding skills. Indeed he was an emperor, but still, he was just a child, and ergo, called himself a Prince.

(TS:I'mma pretend it's all done and that I left for my final dest.)
